Make your dreams come true and take part in one of the most spectacular and thrilling of all daredevil sports, motorbike stunt riding. In this action packed simulation you are invited to take part in an attempt of the world record of jumping over London buses.  Hold on to your helmets, and here we go!

With hindsight, it's amazing that people could sell full-price games that were as bad as this. The only thing to do here is trying to jump with your bike over double-decker buses (which proudly bear the inscription 'AMSTRAD'). The problem is that you must start your jump exactly at the right speed, if you don't want to crash either on the buses or on the landing track. And when I say exactly at the right speed, that's exactly! 25mph instead of 23mph won't do. Add to that the impossibility of controlling accurately the speed of your bike, and you obtain an extremely irritating game, even if the graphics are rather good!
